2NE1 "Try To Follow Me" Dara-Inspired Rainbow Eyes Tutorial

8:23 PM

I'm not gonna lie, I'm especially excited about this tutorial. Remember that whole Facebook doppleganger thing where you'd choose the celebrity who is your lookalike as your profile photo for a week? I chose 2NE1's Sandara Park since she is the celebrity I'm most often told I look like. In fact, a sweet girl even private messaged me to tell me that someone else was stealing my photo to use as their facebook photo (but it was actually that I was using Dara's photo! hehe...)

2NE1 is one of my favorite Korean pop groups and I've always had a soft spot for Dara so I'm totally flattered to have people think we look alike! Most times when people tell me I look like someone I don't see it but for Dara I can somewhat see the resemblance as with Narsha from Brown Eyed Girls.

And here are my shots. Plz to appreciate my hard work in curling my bangs like this. I am no hairstylist. I swear, Sandara's must have been an actual tube inside or fake hair or something because this was NOT EASY! I'm pretty sure I used an entire can of hairspray. Don't ask me to do a tutorial cause I swear it will be soooo bad. XD

My best Dara impressions. She does lots of silly faces!

And just having some fun with the light. Ooooh, backlighting~

Let me know what you think in the comments!! What should I do for my next "inspired" look?

Jen! Aw you did such an awesome job! I love 2NE1 and Dara is one of my fave girls out of that group. That music video is also one of my faves. When it first came out, my friend and I couldn't stop admiring their make up! Especially their eye makeup! It's just toooo pretty! And I think you did a great job. The bangs looked super difficult to do. I think you're right, Dara must have had something rolled up in her bangs or they were fake bangs lol for them to be THAT perfectly rolled lol!

One of my friend's went to YG Entertainment building to deliver stuff to 2NE1 today (: haha I was so excited, and wished that I was still in Korea so that I could go with my friend Lol.

Check List of thoughts by me that others have thought too a millions times before:

[X] You DO look like Sandara![X] You both are soooooo prettyyyyy![X] Your skin is flawless.[X] I think you're a bit prettier than Sandara but you both are GORGEOUS![X] You should be Sandara's stand in and be part of 2NE1 when she isn't available for appearances.[X] You are talented. You have mad artistic skills with make-up and with everything you do![ ] You are a pretty pink pony in another life I've decided.[X] Looove you!

You are just soo incredibly amazing and talented, Jen!! Lol I agree with Kassia's checklist 100% You look STUNNING and you definitely really nailed this look to the POINT!! I think you guys look SOO similar!! Except your nose is slimmer and "taller" than hers. I think you're prettier and cuter just because I somewhat know you "personally" (thanks to the good old Internet) and I don't know her at all--I just know of her since she is a celeb! hehe I always enjoy all of your videos! LOVE watching every one of them!!

this was excellent!!! and i enjoyed the tutorial very much. you definitely resemble her, especially in this tutorial. you should have added some of that green color on the lower lashline and it would have been flawless!!! can't wait to see more from you~

Really nice! Thanks again for anothe great tutorial :D I'm also very interested in skin79 BB cream. Are you going to do a review on it? Because I think Lioele is too light for my skin tone, so I was wondering what your thoughts were on skin79.

Stunning! You two looks the same, but i agree that you're more gorgeous.. I've been itching to try a makeup with "rainbow colors" since the time i watched alice in the wonderland.. Love how the color are combined... So this is posted on the right timing.

This was such a great tutorial!!! The two of you look almost identical!!! Thanks Jen, it was so much fun watching and I love how in the end of the video you sarcastically say this a great everyday look especially when you are shooting storm troopers or something lol

Great job! :) Love the make up tutorial! You do look alike ^^ I've seen Sandara Park on a lot of TV shows before on The Filipino Channel. I guess she started the Korean frenzy back there. You two are adorable! Sweet! *two thumbs up!*

sandara joined a tv contest here in philippines. she didn't win though. but she had lots and lots of fans! then she went back to korea to study acting. when she went back to philippines, there were others who became more popular than her. I guess it was a good decision that she chose to try the limelight in korea. because she became an international star.. ^_^

I love this look! I tried it last night and I was able to use MOST of the colors you used in this look, from the UD 15th anniversary palette (the olive green was the only one missing). I'm also asian and i have small double lids, but the only thing I wasn't able to see the colors as much when I opened my eyes, maybe next time i'll bring the color up higher. otherwise i loved it! i love your inspired looks & all the fun lashes you experiment with! ;)
